## Abstract Pancreatic adenocarcinoma is a disease with high mortality for which chronic pancreatitis confers a markedly increased risk. We hypothesize that chromosome instability and genomic damage occur in pre‐neoplastic pancreatic ductal epithelium, and that this damage may be related to oxidati
Mutations in codon I 2 of K-ras occur in a high proportion of pancreatic cancer cases. Although there is evidence that p53 mutations also occur in this tumor, few studies have been reported to date and no comparison has been made of K-ras and p53 mutations in the same tissues. Single-strand conforma
Chronic pancreatitis is characterized by the presence of an inflammatory infiltrate, progressive destruction of acinar cells, and fibrosis. The finding that endothelin-1, an endothelium-derived peptide with vasoconstrictive and mitogenic properties, reduces pancreatic blood flow in normal rats sugge
## Abstract Mutations of an oncogene, K‐__ras__, are associated with the development and progression of many types of human cancer. To elucidate the significance of K‐__ras__ mutations in gastric carcinogenesis, we examined K‐__ras__ mutations in gastric cancers and in __Helicobacter pylori__‐assoc
